State of Nevada LEGALIZED Coin

On November 2nd, 2016 alongside California, Maine and Massachusetts, Nevada passed Question 2, and became the 5th U.S state to legalize cannabis. Legalized sales were due to commence on the same day as California, but the date was moved forward and many retailers were approved for sale by July 1st 2017.

The date couldn’t have come soon enough for cannabis hungry residents and tourists, within two weeks Nevada declared a state of emergency, scrambling to meet a serious shortage in supply. In its first four days, $3 million in legal sales were processed, and generated $500,000 in tax revenue.

Nevada’s marijuana sector created, in its first 7 months, nearly 7000 jobs, and $19m in revenue, much of it earmarked to support the State’s education sector. Despite the recent meddling by Jeff Sessions, Nevada vows to hold strong, sending a clear message for Sessions and the Trump Administration to stay out of Nevada’s business.
